The
tranquility that Ernest was so quick to tout was today in full retreat
The IDF
after a 5 hour cease fire was moving into Gaza to Hamas finally defeat
After two
thousand plus rockets and its first dead
The IDF by land,
sea and air was using brute force instead
In the skies
over Ukraine the unthinkable occurred to a Malaysian Air jumbo jet
Blasted out
of the sky by pro Russian thugs with little regret
One moment you
are in a Triple 7 to Kuala Lumpur with vacation or business plans
The next
moment you are blown apart heading back down to land
One cannot
begin the imagine the terror and fear
An explosion
then in many parts falling down and still alive seeing the earth begin to
appear
Three planes
in the past have been shot down by missile or fighter attack
An Iranian
jet by a U.S. missile cruiser thinking it was a fighter on a missile launching
track
A Korean jumbo
jet which over the Soviet Union had strayed
Shot down
out of the sky to the civilized world’s dismay
Finally a
Libyan 727 off course over the Sinai
Shot down by
the IDF as all but 5 aboard died
Tragic as
you cannot have commerce if passenger jets are placed in the missile cross hairs
That’s not a
risk the traveling public should ever have to share
Today this
tranquility mantra is exploding in our face
As the body
count expands in a sad day for the human race
